I've said it once and I'll say it again. If Disney could fake ticket sales...

Given how it has no competition and a built-in market I am unsurprised by this, but vaguely disappointed.

Did you read the article? Title is incredibly misleading.

It just about beat the original Captain America. It's "on the way" to beating the original Thor and Ant-Man. None of it has been adjusted for inflation. It's a flop.

>Solo and a twinkie in time were the start of a new MCU phase with the protagonist as the new face
no user, you are stupid.

>it cost 300 million total
>but it needs 500mil more than that to break even

what

Nobody seemed to complain when Wonder Woman was making a comparable amount of money. Are people seriously paid by DC to shill here?

>It beat phase 1 film monnies, you guys!

They don't take the entire gross, about half of it goes to theaters. They get a smaller cut from foreign, especially China.

I know you’re a baiting tranny at this point but for the sake of posterity I’ll clarify that you’re retarded for not realizing Gal Gadot isn’t an uncharismatic white man hater and if she is didn’t make that fact painfully obvious

I bet Warner Bros also fake ticket sales as well. I don't believe for a second Wonder Woman made that much. It had to be inflated

This. More is riding on this than them piles of heaping shit. Especially in their minds with their imaginary battle with the ‘trolling incels’. Just look at the lengths they’ve gone to (RT, YouTube algorithms, etc)

Bullshit. Yea Forums posted thread after thread about how Gal Gadot is ugly and they hate her and she's Jewish. And they still couldn't stop Wonder Woman from succeeding. Cope harder.

>the entire basis for phase 4 MCU
>A non numbered SW movie and a stand alone movie
not the same

Too bad for disney all of that money comes from foreign markets that take huge cuts out of ticket sales, especially China, while its bombing domestically.

>Ant-Man
>phase 1
Idiot.

a wrinkle in time is irrelevant, it's a single movie and not part of a franchise that's a pillar of the company. solo on the other was a big deal, but disney simply wasn't prepared for the kind of backlash they received. with captain marvel, however, they were prepared. articles have talked about this. they created 40 teams to shill on the internet, and we know what they did with rotten tomatoes and youtube's algorithm. now stories are coming out about there being tons of no shows for presold tickets, plus all the reports of empty theaters. if you're not at least suspicious, than you're not paying attention.

>Gal Gadot is ugly and they hate her and she's Jewish
There are a ton of people right now talking about how they love Brie, so Yea Forums has always loved CM. You are just being a retarded tranny

This guy gets it.

>they'd have done it for Solo
Solo flopping actually helped their narrative that the viewers are bored of white male leads. So if they could fake tickets Solo woudn't be a target of it

With Solo they didn't realise they had to. They've learned from that and have come prepared.

>OP (probably shill) status: BTFO

I actually just went and saw this today, not because i wanted to but because the cinema within walking distance of getting my car services had only 3 movies on and this was one of them.

I and 1 other man were the only ones in there, but i mean it was 1.20pm so who knows, the movie was average, probs a 6.5/10.

Capt Marvel did fuck all for the movie, fury and the Skul or w/e dude were based.

The movie really did have alot of bullshit feminist crap inserted into it, non stop clips of men keeping carol down, and even the final fight where she just uses her powers rather than "man up" and fight the evil dude.

Maybe thats what women want, but it was pretty meh really, its like if you had a normal hero with bullshit powers and then removed all traces of honour you'd get this capt marvel.

I'm also pretty sure the cat did most of the work on the ship, rather than her.

>Maybe thats what women want
Women didn't want this, it was manbabies who went to see it. Female viewers were lower than average for a marvel film.

And that's why this narrative breaks appart.
They say white cis men hate women leads on films...yet WW was a success with little complains, Alita also has like 93% on viewers and had no complains, etc.

It's fake, sure there's a hyper small minority of trolls, but people don't care about female leads, the negative response to CM was because Brie's and Disney's aggressive marketing of segregationism and antagonism and then turns out the movie is just bland and mediocre.

A lot of word of mouth helped that movie.

Also Gal Gadot is not a big mouth smug cunt.

>There are a ton of people right now talking about how they love Brie, so Yea Forums has always loved CM.
Alright, I'll screencap this post and quote you on it in a few months. Thanks for the help.

People keep posting this like it isn't embarrassing for them.

Despite all the attempts to say "Brie Larson hates white men!", white men are the number one people who went to saw her movie.

You know why? Because she's white, and she's blonde. That's exactly what white men want.

>white men are the number one people who went to saw her movie.
Yeah of course they are, because it's capeshit. Men have terrible taste in movies.

Have sex, incel.

>You know why?
White folks love those white FLAT asses. Is like their thang..

You understimate the number of male feminists out there.

>white men are the number one people who went to saw her movie.

a ton of them ended up disliking the movie, and only saw it in the first place for the post credits scene.

for the men who did like it, we know what kind of men they are.

I can't believe you idiots actually believe Disney is trying to push some feminist agenda. They're capitalizing on an already existing agenda. You don't just come up with some product idea and push it on the masses. You research your target demographic and tailor that product to fit their needs. Why would a company go out of their way to push some ideology instead of trying to simply make money? Fuck this board is stupid

what people? a small contingent of loudmouth feminists on twitter, who don't really care about capeshit anyways? you think the main demo of men wanted a feminist movie?

If Gal Gadot's body is the "saddest thing ever", you should check out some of the bodies wandering around your local Wal-Mart

Apparently, since the main demo of men are who is seeing it.

of course, they are the vast majority of capeshit regardless. a lot of them hated it, or thought it was mediocre and many only saw it for an connection there might be to endgame. the feminist shit was to expand the female audience, but the female audience is never going to care as much as men. just like with nustar wars attempt to appeal to women.

Men dig chicks with superpowers. They don't give a fuck about any agenda. These characters were created by men, for fuck's sake.

>implying they didn't learn from Solo and Winkle in Time

Even if the numbers are real it's a shit movie with a shit actress but normies want capeshit like fags want dick, so...

yes, they do. unless they agree with the politics, they're gonna find the feminist shit obnoxious just the same as anyone else. mcu fans are on reddit, Yea Forums, and anywhere else on the internet discussing these issues.

So when DC does it, "its word of mouth", but when Marvel does it, "its fake!!"?

So rotten tomatoes admitted to changing audience score to protect Captain Marvel.

sure, men love feminist politics. i'm sure the mcu will be a huge success with captain marvel as the centerpiece. almost as successful as star wars currently is.

We have the same shit since GI Jane.
Men not knowing this movie was made with malicious intent toward them will just laugh at "womyn POWER" shit, those who know this will shudder slightly after laughing.

>more inclusive
>ban any thought outside of mainstream
Well, this is the meaning of this word in 2019.

I only use metacritic, rotten tomatoes has been in many weird situations.
Metacritic gives it 65%, and I think that's pretty much it, a mediocre movie.

>I don't believe for a second Wonder Woman made that much

because you think the same gen pop that has made shit like Big Bang Theory a run away hit and kept Two and a Half men on the air for over a decade really has taste in films?
The same population that is flooding into social media, watching KK's whore family be whores and listens to shitty mumble rap while making tiktok videos isn't going to pay to see a new Marvel film or Wonder Woman?

Fuck you.

Honest question. If Brie had just stfu and promoted the movie normally, perhaps smiled a little, would the butthurt have been as bad as it has? Or was it always destined to cause anger?

>movie theatres do it for free

protip: not all of a movies' gross revenue goes to the studio/publisher

nah, they were still coasting on good faith. the effects of TLJ were not fully understood, especially with BP doing well and IW raking in the cash. Solo opened the rat's eyes to the ramifications of a disgruntled fanbase. they fear losing the fanbase of the mcu the most. CM was not allowed to be seen as anything other than a huge success to avoid the brand destruction that was wrought to star wars. so shills work overtime and tickets were bought. it's a desperate plan as chances are it won't work. bland and boring is far worse than woke. i am surprised they haven't learned. they've won one PR battle while fighting a losing war. people won't just accept whatever cause it appears others are. it's a desperate tactic doomed to fail as it's not sustainable. in the end it will be written off as fatigue in a few years but it was really of their own doing

Oh, so now BP's ticket sales are real. Well, good, at least we got you to admit that. In a year you'll be saying the same about Captain Marvel.

They probably also didn't expect Solo to tank as badly as it did. Or maybe they did, but people were still so busy talking about the fallout from TLJ that the "journalists" could just talk about that instead.

>we

in a year you won't be employed due to 'fatigue"

Huge tits but flat ass is the worst aesthetic

Brie knew she was invincible. That's exactly why she said the things she did.

How did they do it worldwide though?

>They probably also didn't expect Solo to tank as badly as it did. Or maybe they did
They actually did. Not only was there a quote from before the movie's release saying exactly that, but journalists gave it middling reviews because they knew it was a "safe" movie to trash. This happens every time they expect a movie to bomb, they go all-in on the criticism because it doesn't matter.

Attached: brie.webm (480x480, 978K)

And yet you have absolutely no proof that they have done anything illegal.

My only counter to that would be that Solo was a spin-off and A Wrinle in Time a standalone movie, whereas Captain Marvel is meant to be the groundwork for Endgame. From their perspective, CM tanking would make the MCU look bad and could risk jeopardizing their big, $2 Billion payday, so it's in Disney's best interest that CM looks like a resounding success in order to keep the momentum going. If you really wanted to start talking pure conjecture, you might even say that the relative failures of Solo, and to a lesser extent TLJ, have made the higher ups at Disney paranoid about exactly this sort of thing, and as a result they take extra precautions to ensure their golden goose is safe.
There's no evidence but the lukewarm reception has suspicious, are there really that many people who just go see whatever has an MCU logo on the trailer?

>are there really that many people who just go see whatever has an MCU logo on the trailer?
People go see anything superhero related now. Glass did great, Venom did great, Alita did great.

The ONLY superhero flop in the last ten years has been Fantastic Four, and Fantastic Four fucking sucks.

TO MAKE PROFIT is the key. This shit makes no sense and only means losing money, cinemas make more of their money out of coca cola and pop corn, not tickets, thinking they would be ok with disney potentially hurting their sales is insane

Yep, you are right. Like Black Panther. They got a huge success with a nigger leader apparently, but you don't have more nigger leaders at the movies. I bet same will happens with Captain Marvel. It's just a PR stunt.

>Do you have any idea how pathetic and cringeworthy this is

Reminder that the people that shilled the hardest for this movie were the retards making 150 Brie threads a day for an entire month and helping disney to create the narrative of alt--right incels being behind the hatred for their horrible movie. It's on you, not MCUfags from Yea Forums, not on "normies".

On one hand I think this is good because guys will learn that hating on something just creates an equal and opposite reaction among lefties to support this stupid capeshit movie. So they should just totally IGNORE the movies that annoy them instead.

On the other hand they are retarded and I know they will actually never learn.

Yeah, if they dont so far out their way to censor the entire internet, then OP might have a point. They staked a lot on this movie since they plan on Captain Marvel being their linchpin going forward.

They actually wanted Solo to fail since it "proves" that white men are finished.

To be fair, they are.

What's the crime? Buying tickets ?

Presenting winnings and earnings that were paid with the company's own money is not something you can do.

No one is doing that in this board. But no, it's not more pathetics, media shills are PAID, you are doing it for free.

Neither was this movie.

Yes it was, you dumb nigger. CM is the new face of the MCU.

>CM is the new face of the MCU.
Yes, but that doesn't mean anything, this movie was an standalone movie, it's irrelevant to fase 4 and is still a fase 3 movie. You want to make it more important since it helps your delusional narrative. CM is a shitty movie that isn't related to the shitty movies that will come later, just like incredible Hulk was irrelevant to Avengers.

Go dilate, dishonest discord tranny.

See, user, these places where they tell you to never go to, because you smell so bad, these places need money to show the movies there. And the money you'd pay if you had any, part of that is the cost these places take, while the rest is for advertising, actors, and then the movie production. And a movie needs to earn twice that to both break even and be considered a success. That's why many people with money still throw money at low quality movies that have a budget of a million or two - if it's a 40 million hit like camera footage horror movies were some time ago, they earn a fucking lottery of money, enough to fail at 10 other projects and still have enough.

Wrinkle in Time wasn’t important, and with Solo, Disney thought SWWas too big to fail.

Cope

>but people were still so busy talking about the fallout from TLJ
It's mostly this. Solo was very un-hyped from the beginning, plus the lead was a white male, so even SJWs didn't give a shit, and before the movie came out I heard a fair amount of bashing about how "regressive" it seemed to have a white male-lead Star Wars after Episode 7, 8 and Rogue One broke the trend. Solo was always going to be a whipping boy.

Bigger issue is that those weren't the introduction to the entire second half of the MCU. CM failing had repercussions across a generation of comic book movie intellectual property.

Why would Disney want the "future" of the MCU to be a character that failed at the box office?

Neither of those movies were tentpoles for the next phase of an entire slate of films already in various phases of production. Neither of those signed a lead to a 7-film contract before their first film had even been released.

This.

they tried to do the same thing they did with CM. They said people didn't like Last Jedi because it was inclusive...it was just too late

>No, this movie can't be a success user. It goes against my retarded right wing political beliefs. This is a mass conspiracy of Disney spending millions to buy tickets. They're also paying hush money to every theatre owner too since none of them are asking why they're having sold out shows with no one in the audience. Don't you realize Disney is a political party and not a private Corporation whose stock owners and shareholders would be furious to find out the company was throwing away millions to win a pointless culture war with a bunch of online trolls who have no political power?

They did it for Captain Marvel PRECISELY because they didn't do it for Solo and Wrinkle. And if my memory serves me right they still bought tickets for Solo in Australia. They're saving their BRAND.

OH NO NO NO

Nice photoshop, if it's crossing ant-man numbers then that means it is yet to cross 600 million.

Who takes pictures at the movies?

Why do you keep quoting this score but not the other dozen scores that say it's mediocre? Confirmation bias much?

But they are not buying Fox in a 70billion stock deal that rest exclusively on Disney to maintain high stock price with the illusion that Captain Marvel, which represents biggest IP ever, is doing great. Billions are in the line here, Bob Iger would not want Murdoch to get a lot more shares than he is going to now.

If they’re using a large chunk of their advertising budget on tickets, they’re getting guaranteed money back on their investment. I’m not even convinced it would be illegal. Unethical as hell, but not illegal.

The people saying it mediocre are "film critics." Audioncs like it.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Captain Marvel is supposed to be the new face of the MCU after Endgame. She’s supposed to be the new IronMan/RDJ. They already signed her for like 6 movies. If her movie didn’t do well it’s a really bad sign for them. Solo and Wrinkle in Time were one shots that nobody really cared about.

I worked in entertainment law for a few years, and every studio does practice creative accounting. Not with every production, since it's in the very gray legal zone, but with certain productions where it's deemed benefitial. Creative accounting can either consist of artificially boosting the sales numbers in order to have perceived success in a franchise where it's important to lure the audience in for a sequel, or by artificially boosting spending in order to impact the profit margins (to avoid taxes).

I'll give you the dumbed down version of how studios would artificially boost sales while simultaneously keeping the money under the umbrella of the mother company.

>Studio creates two subsidiary companies in an offshore jurisdiction (Caymans, BVI, etc)
>Subsidiary A is granted rights by the distributor to sell tickets on their behalf
>Subsidiary B orders tickets in bulk from subsidiary A
>Invoices are created, and money is shifted between bank accounts, despite both bank accounts being owned by the same company
>On top of this, additional subsidiaries are created for (at least) an equal amount, which bills the studio for advertising cost, thus equalizing the revenue/spending and annulling the need to pay taxes on any of the money used to artificially boost sales

You faggots didn't really think Hollywood had an armada of lawyers just sitting around on their asses all day, making sure actors didn't do stupid shit, did you?
Do I think Disney resorted to creative accounting with Captain Marvel? Yes, there are very strong indicators that they did. Especially since they have made it clear that they intend to continue building upon the character.

They knew the movie was bad since the main character has no fucking character

As such they went with the "if you don't think this movie is a 10/10 then you hate women" angle, just like with Ghostbusters

>After Scott Rhodie received a $77 ticket to watch Solo: A Star Wars Story three hours before anyone else in Australia, he was more than a little disappointed after he realised 400 of the 500-strong crowd were paid actors.

>May 25, 2018 8:59
>by SCOTT RHODIE

>Disney launched Solo: A Star Wars Story in cinemas yesterday. The night before launch, I had the misfortune to attend a cluster of an event.

>I’m a massive Star Wars fan, and have been ever since I saw my first film in the cinema as a four-year-old in 1978.

>I’m always excited for a new Star Wars movie, and a good friend bought me a ticket to a special Falcon Formation event at Fox Studios. For $77 you got to take part in “something spectacular” and be part of 500 “specially selected crewmates to bring the iconic Millenium Falcon to life” and then watch the movie before it launched anywhere around the world.

>To be part of the event, you had to be there at 5.30pm for the movie which started at 8.30pm.

>It felt badly organised from the get-go, with so many people milling around and nobody pointing us in the right direction. Then when we were told to form an orderly queue, something weird was noticeable: these people weren’t Star Wars fans.

>Two young, attractive blokes in front of us in the queue informed us that their agency had contacted them and paid them to turn up to the event.

>A girl was told to turn up in something Star Warsy for the event and wore white. More and more of the fans I knew kept telling me the same story – hundreds of extras to make the event happen.

>Huh? Surely you don’t need to pay people to attend a movie for the largest franchise in the world?

>So a few of us got to chatting to more people and found out that out of the 500 people needed, they had only sold 100 or so tickets. The rest of the 500 was made up of paid actors, paid extras etc.

Reminder that OP's title is a lie. It hasn't crossed ant man numbers yet.

>The day you cannot find Star Wars fans to turn up to an event is a bizarre day indeed. The 501st Legion would surely have turned up to see the movie early and take part in the event.

>Everyone received numbers and were told to stand in a designated place, so they could film 500 people with light up things on their hand. A drone took images and video, to show all these ‘fans’ making a Millenium Falcon.

>The guy using the loudhailer had a voice that managed to reach about four feet in front of him.

>The Falcon Formation was a great idea let down by poor planning, a few rude staff, a long wait time, and the anger building from people who had paid to see the movie getting told they were standing in the cold with non-fans who were being paid to be there.

>And don’t get me started on how they ran out of waiver forms for filming and someone shouted: “Just get them to sign on the back of previously signed waiver forms.”

>I could save their advertising or PR team or whoever came up with the event idea by suggesting that next time they want to run an event maybe, just maybe, invite 500 fans to a free screening.

>They will turn up in Star Wars outfits or t-shirts, be incredibly vocal and fun, and they will help sell your movie through social media. They won’t be complaining in the line about being paid to be there and about how much they don’t care about Star Wars…

>The actual movie was fantastic by the way.

So it's literally an opinion piece with no proof. Amazing.

>If

Well It's a good thing theyre not and all this is just seething poltards angry people aren't boycotting their hated movie

175M in America already is a lot, feels like the movie just came out

Pretty much.
Don't get me wrong, it is absurd, but such is the timeline. Whatever you believe, look at the importance attributed to this from all sides. Even star wars didn't come close to this.

Unless we have evidence we believe to be compelling, it's still mostly a guessing game, but the circumstances are weird to say the least.

The first Captain America, the first Thor, and the first Ant-Man all did poorly.

This is how blockbusters work these days
Most people just preorder tickets for the first weekend, then they never watch it again
Any remaining revenue comes from people late to the party

One of the people in the crowd of “fans” was identified as a Bachelor contestant.

Again: No proof.

I just ran into Brie Larson in the supermarket yesterday. Spat in her face and called her an incel. Everyone clapped but nobody recorded it on their cameras out of respect for me.

what is the point of this exercise? looks like something a whore in a bordello would do to warm up

Making my dick hard as FUCK.

Who says they didn't

I don't know anyone who saw either of those movies or captain marvel and I'm in the military so I interact with a lot of people

They overestimated the negative fan reaction for Solo. Nobody wanted A Wrinkle of Time so obviously it will bomb whether it's made by Disney or not.

Saw it last night. 6 people including myself in the theatre. Not bad would rate it equal to Thor 1 or Dr strange. No where near as feminist as people were making it out to be.

cope and cringe

>If Disney could fake ticket sales, they'd have done it for Solo and A Wrinkle in Time.
They didn't have the idea yet. Plus, this was a huge, huge investment for them. They needed this one to succeed because they're going all in on the character. If it failed, the entire MCU will fail. And they will lose an extreme amount of money if that happens.

He's just saying the truth. It's the people on your team who made it a reality.

>cope
Reddit term

>They didn't have the idea yet.
Both of those movies came out after Black Panther which was falsely accused of fake ticket sales.

So congratulations, you either outed yourself as a retard or admitted that Black Panther's ticket sales were real.

Here he is. He was a contestant on The Bachelorette Australia where he went by Nathan. He appears at the 30 second mark on the promo video so fucking buried not even YouTube can find it.

Dumb phoneposter

It doesn't matter OP. Incels are in complete denial. There's nothing that can convince them that this isn't a conspiracy. There's no turning back for them after months and months of claiming it's another Ghostbusters 2016 and another TLJ.
Their entire belief system would crumble if they accept this movie was succesful. Because they would have to accept that Ghostbusters and TLJ failed because they were, in fact, terrible movies. And not because everyone hates le evil SJWs like they do in their circlejerks.
So they are going to keep denying it forever because to accept it would mean they'd have to abandon something that, frankly, probably helps a lot of them sleep at night: the delusion that the world is full of oppressed white men sick of the leftist mainstream media, when in the fact they are but a screeching insignificant minority.

Damn what an insult. Totally roasted me there.

Team as in marketing team as in Disney shill squad. You're obviously too retarded to be here. Reddit?

I'll spit-roast you next.

Pull your head out of the fucking sand

Kys mate

Black Panther was the first step. They indirectly bought the tickets by funding various charities. They didn't need to do as much because black people are retarded and went in droves to see that schlock. Captain Marvel was when they thought "well we bought them indirectly last time, why not directly this time? Nobody is funding our charities."

They learned with Solo that a flop can fuck with a franchise's credibility though. They never had a reason to before.

Cringe

You could win a gold medal with these mental gymnastics.

Nice argument. Thanks for proving me right.

If anything, I have definitively proven you wrong.

Nope. You've conceded which means I win by default. Too late now though, maybe next thread Mr. Shill!

Yes because no movie has killed a franchise before in the history of cinema so how should they have known?????

The numbers are real because you have to spend real money to fake it
The viewers and reviews are not real

Fucking morons here. "Solo" bombing shelved an entire series of "standalone" Star Wars movies. "A Wrinkle in Time" was set to be a franchise, the book the movie was based on was part of a larger collection. None of you have the slightest fucking clue what you're talking about.

Solo and A Wrinkle In Time didn't have a charity with a tax write off connected to it.

> 152m budget, 150% marketing budget due to counter propaganda war + empty theatres
> no stagged release, but international simultaneous release
> hasn't broke 2x ROI, the minimum standard for other films in AAA production companies
> 72% audience drop rate already
Financially it was a flop, in general view it under performed & Disney lost quite a lot credibility due to openly shared empty theatre pictures, which puts their claims on gross income into question + RT fiasco.

All of this won't matter thou, the saga is dead after Endgame as the big names of the cast are walking out anyway.

I honestly doubt any movie not Captain America, Thor or Avengers actually makes money.

Funny thing about those empty theater pics, only one of them had any proof that they were actual live theater shots, and in that one, they showed a ticket for a showing that was still two hours from starting.

Meanwhile, I work at a Movie Tavern in NY state, and almost every showing over the weekend sold out.

this

As much as I'd chalk the numbers up to retarded Marvel fanboys shoveling schlock down their gullets or progs trying to earn buttpats, I will concede there is one possible corporate angle to this. It's not about politics; if CM is going to be heavily featured in Endgame and lead the MCU afterward, there debut movie crashing and burning on the runway would be a disaster for Marvel. Imagine if Black Panther had been shit but audiences were expected to sit through the last third of Infinity War anyway.

First off, Catwoman predates Elektra.

Second, Catwoman and Elektra are both villains so neither of their movies count. As for why they did two movies about villains instead of heroes, your guess is as good as mine.

yikes
have sex, okay?

Disney learned from solo

The incel tears are real.

You have to go back.

The incel tears are real.

We get it, you're from Reddit. Why not stay there?

I wouldn't expect empty theatres to have been so prevail, only in "critical income source" spots like LA etc.
This would have been so magnificent flop without Chinese thou lol

u ok?

Because I can't collect incel tears on Reddit.

No. Technology is moving towards freedom from all Marxist deviance. When theatrical events are the new social event in which films are morphological events whose eventualities and precursors are like choose your destiny books only a thousand times more complex. And subtle snide condemnations of the #metoo #sjw force diversity are peppered through out movies that are both kino and alt-right. The left progressives will shriek in horror as they're ignored by everyone.

Disney isn't political retard

Disney literally based the appearances of the Nazi-like First Order officers in TLJ on Trump's kids. Because, you know, MUH NAZIS. And they admitted to doing so.

You honestly think Disney is ABOVE cringey insertions like these? Because they aren't. They have done it before.

Of course he doesn't

That's correct, I've been here since 2017 and I know how Yea Forums works. No one would stoop so low to unironically not share my view on things. They're paid shills.

She's a good actress, just bad in this movie.

i don't believe for a second the ticket sales numbers are real for captain marvel, in fact they've probably never been accurate for any movie

OBSESSED

brie is a shit actress and ruined the marvel series

I dont remember anyone giving a shit about wonder woman here

with Disney

It was spammed just like any other capeshit.

it's a bad movie and a bad actress

her attitude in real life sips into the character and its just sad

This posts are a good example. You woult think this is are bots, but no this are a actual "people" but dumbed down and void of any human qualities. This is exactly what disney is looking for.

Says the incels who just spent hours and hours bickering about capeshit. How does it feel? Was it worth all that time? Get ready to do it again.

Precisely. The left has forced them to turn off common sense so often that they no longer are able to use it. Their minds are so atrophied from lack of use that they're unable to use them anymore. That makes them perfect pickings for Disney.
